Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Bath re-enamelling in Hollington, done in place
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about lots of chips and rust spots and worn patches where water runs and sits.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Hollington questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Which areas do you work in?
All of West Berkshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface without moving it. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes the best part of a day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

When we’d advise against a repair

- Holes rusted through the metal
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hollington
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hollington as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Hollington
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

- A coloured bath you want in white
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
